Kevin Love

Cavs star power forward Kevin Love led Cleveland in rebounding throughout the 2016-17 regular season and continues to do so in the playoffs.

The four-time All-Star averaged a very respectable 19.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game during the regular season, and through the postseason is averaging 17.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

In the 4-1 series win over Boston, Love averaged 22.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 33.4 minutes of action per game. This included Love’s 32-point outburst in Game 1, when he knocked down 9-of-16 shots and made 6-of-9 from behind the arc.

Hopefully, his success from the last series will quickly transfer over to the 2017 NBA Finals.
